MSC
Description of the MSC
The MSC radio remote control's working mode is used to enter the installation menus.
It is possible to enable/disable the MSC either by acting on the receiving unit or by acting on the transmitting unit.
The SERVICE CONTROL programming can only enable the MSC mode if it is enabled as a factory setting. Therefore, the
MSC mode can only be enabled after making sure that it is activated (ON) by checking this in the technical data sheet.
When the radio remote control is in MSC, pressed pushbuttons do not activate the receiving unit's outputs.
Disable the MSC mode to start controlling the machine again.
Enabling/disabling the MSC through the receiving unit
Enabling the MSC
To enable the MSC, do the following.
1. Remove power from the receiving unit.
2. Open the receiving unit and set DIP switch 2 on the mother board to ON.
3. Close the receiving unit and power it.
At the next radio remote control's start up, the green LED in the transmitting unit and the ENABLE LED in the receiving unit
blink twice per second, indicating that the radio link has been built and the radio remote control is in MSC mode.
Disabling the MSC
To disable the MSC do the following.
1. Remove power from the receiving unit.
2. Open the receiving unit and set DIP switch 2 on the mother board to OFF.
3. Close the receiving unit and power it.
At next radio remote control start-up:
- the green LED in the transmitting unit blinks slowly, indicating that the radio remote control is ready to control the ma-
chine
- the ENABLE LED in the receiving unit blinks, indicating that the radio link is built.

WORKING FREQUENCY
AUTEC - Air Series 4 LIIWFR1AE0-03.fm
A8 - Configuration Menu
WORKING FREQUENCY
Programming procedures provided hereafter allow to set the radio remote control's radio link features; these must
comply with the laws and standards enforced in the market where they are used. In order for the system “machine+ra-
dio remote control” to be compliant and therefore to be used, it shall comply with such laws and standards: if it does
not, the system may be stopped and impounded by competent supervisory bodies.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is set with forbidden frequencies.
Programming related to “Working frequency” is as follows:
- BANK GROUP.
The BANK GROUP programming is used to set the frequency bank used by the radio remote control.
- RADIO MODE.
The RADIO MODE programming is used to choose the automatic scan mode or the manual selection of frequency.
- CHANNEL BANK.
The CHANNEL BANK programming is used to choose the working frequency.
It is only possible to enter the BANK GROUP, RADIO MODE and CHANNEL BANK programming if the radio remote control
is in MSC working mode (Mode of Service Control).
When the setting procedure has ended, disable the MSC mode to start controlling the machine again.
Write down all changes in the technical data sheet.
Enter the programming related to the BANK GROUP, RADIO MODE and CHANNEL BANK programming without modifying
the setting to check options set through those procedures.
Leaving programming without modifying settings
You can leave any programming in any moment without modifying the settings; do as follows:
1. press the STOP pushbutton
2. wait approx. 10 seconds without pressing any pushbutton.
WORKING FREQUENCY

LIIWFR1AE0-03.fm 5 AUTEC - Air Series
A8 - Configuration Menu
WORKING FREQUENCY
FREQUENCY BAND
AIR series radio remote controls can work at two different frequency bands:
- 433.050 - 434.790 MHz
- 915.000 - 928.000 MHz.
The frequency band is selected by DIP 1 under the transmitting unit's battery and DIP 1 on the receiving unit's mother board.
These DIPs shall be set in the same way.
DIP 1 shall be set when the unit is off:
- press the STOP pushbutton in the transmitting unit
- disconnect power supply from the receiving unit.
If a radio remote control shall be used in the United States, after setting DIP 1 in the ON position, this DIP switch must be
blocked (e.g. with glue, enamel...) so that it is not possible for operators to modify the frequency band.
This request arises from FCC requirements, and it is therefore necessary for the radio remote control to be compliant.
Before putting a radio remote control into the United States' market, it is compulsory to check that DIP 1 on the trans-
mitting unit is blocked as described above: if it is not, it must be blocked.
Frequency use mode
The RADIO MODE programming allows to set the radio remote control in automatic frequency scan mode (AUTO) or in man-
ual frequency selection mode (MANUAL).
Automatic scan mode
In AUTO mode, the radio remote control automatically chooses the working frequency among the frequencies in the selected
BANK GROUP. The radio remote control checks that a frequency is free before using it.
Manual selection mode
In MANUAL mode, the radio remote control uses a fixed working frequency, that can be set with the following procedure:
ON

OFF: 433.05-434.79MHzON: 915-928MHz

4. Set BANK GROUP.
5. Set CHANNEL BANK and LOGICAL CHANNEL.
